Anthropic removed Claude's usage progress bars. Here's what to do about it.
If you use Claude Pro or Claude Code, you've probably noticed: the session and weekly usage indicators are gone. No warning, no explanation. One day you could see your limits, the next day you couldn't.
The Problem
Without usage visibility, you're flying blind:
- No idea how close you are to hitting the session limit
- No idea when your weekly limit resets
- No way to pace yourself across a workday
- Surprise rate limit hits mid-conversation
This is especially painful if you also use Codex, Cursor, Gemini, or Copilot — each with their own invisible limits.
The Fix
TokenBar is a macOS menu bar app that puts your AI usage back where you can see it.
One icon. All your providers. Real-time limits, reset countdowns, and pace intelligence.
$4.99 one-time. No subscription. Local-first.
What It Tracks
- Claude session + weekly limits
- Codex usage percentage
- Cursor monthly requests
- Gemini RPM limits
- Copilot allocations
- 20+ providers total (including Ollama for local models)
Why This Matters
The trend is clear: AI providers are making usage LESS visible, not more. OpenAI's Codex shows a vague percentage. Cursor buries usage in settings. Now Anthropic removed the bars entirely.
If you depend on these tools for work, you need external visibility. Don't let providers control what you can see about your own usage.
TokenBar — $4.99 one-time. macOS 14+.
